WWWY2024 lineup controversy: I’d love to hear your thoughts

When WWWY first released their lineup for 2024, there seemed to be a significant amount of backlash because the majority of featured bands are male-led. I personally did not (and still don’t) understand the outrage because these are well-loved, iconic bands — we don’t decide who gets to be in a band and who doesn’t. This is just how these groups were formed. We, the fans helped these bands become so popular, regardless of their gender. Don’t get me wrong, there are female artists who I’d love to see live, but WWWY has featured women before (and this year as well), so I just can’t see it as some sort of deliberate scheme to highlight the male-led bands. I’d love to hear your thoughts tho.
